Politico ^

(Buried deep down in the 6th paragraph were the actual polling results)

"In the full sample, based on four days of national polling, Romney finished second with 25 percent (behind Cain’s 27 percent). Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Texas Gov. Rick Perry tied for third at 14 percent."

The POLITICO/George Washington University Battleground Poll of 1,000 likely voters, including 436 Republicans, was conducted Nov. 6-9 by The Tarrance Group and Lake Research Partners. The nationwide telephone survey had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.

Tarrance who conducted this poll is rated pretty good (near Rasmussen where Cain is leading also this month: Cain 26 .. Romney's 23). Btw, who is your candidate because you keep posting negative Cain garbage?

You just confirmed my suspicions about Newt. He is the proverbial absent minded college professor who talks a lot but has never run anything in an executive capacity. He even looks like a absent minded college professor the way he dresses. The contract with America was excellent talking points and got us a republican victory in 1994, but Newt was not able to follow through and the contract was not fulfilled in total. In fact republicans forced him out of the House.

“Karl Rove is one of the lead RINOs leading the campaign against our tea party movement and candidates.

What a relief! I thought you meant KR as in, Kid Rock!
/s

I did read Karl Rove’s book, but I checked it out at the library, so didn’t pay the man. My takeaway was that he lives for the game, and winning, way more than any pesky conservative principles that might get in the way of strategy.

Read Liberty and Tyranny.

We need to take power back to the States and to the local level.

People in Peoria wont like politics in Fort Worth, but local governance is the constitutional answer to a national dilemma.

Wrong!

Go to page 150 to see that they polled the correct group ONLY:

All I can say about this poll is that it declares that Gingrich the “best debater” is tied with Perry, the “worse debater”.

Hmmm...

It is not ignoring, it is that conservatives DO NOT AGREE with your assessment of how Cain is performing.

So go ahead and use the liberal talking point of ignoring, it is old and tired and it will be ignored.

Cain is the best out of all the candidates on positions and his background.

"Seems not too long ago, it was, “Rove, you magnificent bastard”.

Yup the same bunch that gave us Bush are now trying to feed us Cain. Must be some kind of an empty suit thing, personally I don't understand it.

A motor mount is the device that holds your motor in your car, in drag racing we used to replace them with elephant ears. Just another little something you know nothing about.

Ed Rollins on CNN said Cain was in 3rd place... Are the RINOs just making up things as they go along? Like saying a lie enough times and hoping its true?
